Need information about V brakes

[45u]

Okay cool, standard brake pads that come with the brakes will be perfectly good. I'm sure you will get decent v brakes. A brake booster (or Avid Arch Rival with it built in) will prevent any flex, twisting or squeal that comes from the twisting.. Your frame isn't hi-ten anyway but idk what those frames are like with Vs. They have a lot of power to flex the seatstays and are sharper with a booster although on the rear it doesn't always make a difference really unless there was a problem.

What is a booster? It has the mounts for V brakes on the frame. Is that does not work I will go dsc but I wonder about the chain lube slinging off the drive chain from the motor but going to try V breaks first.
Thanks
Jeff

Google images of "brake booster" and Avid arch rival A booster prevents flex caused by awesome v brakes (originally called direct pull cantilever) being used on frames that were designed originally to have lower powered cantilever brakes fitted in the early MTB years. Doesn't necessarily matter in alloy but idk how much flex the GT2A frame has. Often, lightweight (or not technically advanced) frames, even alloy ones could be better with a booster.
Cross country frames had the flex but no one cared because the rear wheel skids so easily anyway, weight mattered more. Alloy bmx 24" race frames too. Newer bike frames are stiffer there (or just use disc), but GT2A is from outside the bicycle industry so that makes me wary.
Avid arch rival is a parallel push linkage whatsit that means you don't have to adjust the pads after the initial setting, they wear evenly and stay on the same track for their lifetime. Apparently there was an issue with getting a larger (>2") inflated tyre past the pads when used on presumably narrow frames but I think the GT2A frame is meant for very wide tyres.

Sorry for too many edits and a whole book. It's so hard to not be misleading by omissions and errors.

It's fine, I tend to write in novels too..

These are the wheels I am using and do not want to eat them up. I have front disc.
Thanks all for the input

45U, Could you please tell me where you acquired your handle bars? I like the set back. I am currently building a Sportsman Flyer in road configuration. It looks like you found what I want.

That's a crazy setup just for a Grubee Skyhawk!!

Those brakes are bigger than most people's 10hp bikes

Where'd you find a suspension seat post?

Yes about that frame, where did you get it? How big is that open space?

CustomMotoredBicycles.com / MBrebel aka Lynn is where I bought mine. I like this product, it's all the suspension your rear gets. Better than nothing.
